Please pray for my daughter

Heidi:
Thanks guys, things are slowly looking better.  Wanda's post about God being sovereign hit the nail in my walk with God and I had to repent to Him that I was not trusting in Him and His will for all our lives.  I now have a peace that surpasses understanding.   Since my request for prayer God has been working in Her life.  She passed her drug test on Monday 15 April and she just seems different? I can't really explain it as it's more a shift in focus? It's all God.....that's first sure!

Wanda:
Awesome news Heidi!

This scripture became one of my favourites once I learned God was conpletely sovereign in all things, before that, I didn't quiet grasp the power those words could have in my life. Like you said, a peace that surpasses all understanding.

John 14:27

27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

--- Quote ---Wanda, your words declaring God sovereignty in our lives helped me too. I know all things are in His hands but I still blame myself and imagine what could have happened if I had made different choices- but that is futile and denying the will of God.

Yes Octoberose,  futile and spiritually draining, which just adds to the agony of it all, of that I have been guilty. Even after learning of God's Sovereignty in all things, I still did not have faith in it, as it applied to my life, and as a result,  there were many fiery trials.

Many of us know how painful the humbling process can be, and the turning point for me, came from something I read on this forum, about belief without faith.  I realized I needed to repent for that more than anything else. I had repented for everything I was moved to repent of, but not my lack of surrendering all things to him. Once I did, everything changed for the better, and I was given this unimaginable peace that freed me from even thinking of negative and futile thoughts. Something  I could never have done on my own.

Wanda:
I should also add. This was one of the very few times Ive actually cried out to God. That was from him too, because in humbling me, he had brought me to the very brink of devastation.
